Question
A friend is on about a film she remembers about a guy in prison who has been taken over by the devil and he starts killing other inmates. He also says the name "Morgane" or something like that all the time. She reckons it was in the 80's but may have been the 70's and none of us can think what it is. Can you help please.

Answer
Hi Pauline,

I think the movie you are looking for is called "Prison" from 1988, which starred Viggo Mortensen. A plot summary from imdb.com follows:

"When Charles Forsyth was sent to the electric chair for a crime he didn't commit, he forever haunts the prison where it occured. Flash forward several years the prison is reopened, under the control of it's new Warden Eaton Sharpe. A former security guard who framed Charlie. When prisoners are ordered to break down the wall to the electric chair, they unknowingly release the angry spirit of Charles Forsyth, a powerful being suffering from a murderous rage, all leading up to the Warden himself."
